[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] You gave me back my soul again [A] by showing me [Am] _ [A] _ _ _
[C] the laughter and [D] the wonder in [G] your eye.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] Saved me from the shattered man [A] I [Am] used to [A] be.
_ _ _ [Em] _
_ [C] Opened up [D] the windows [G] of my life _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] and the happiness you've given me [A] for loving you
_ _ _ _ [Em]
is sweeter [D] love and deeper [G] every day.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] I can't stop the changes [Em] [G] that [A] you're growing through
_ _ _ _ [C]
or someone [Em] new [D] from [G] stealing you away.
_ _ [D] So darling [G] when it's time _ [C] you can spread your [G] wings and I'll set [C] you free. _ _
[G] You'll fly away _ and _
[D] it's okay _ because [G] darling time _ [C] changes everything [G] _ but it won't [C] change me. _
[Em] [G] I love you oh _ _
[Em] [D] I love you _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[Em] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] inside of me you'll always be [A] my _ valentine. _ _ _
[C] And I pray your freedom [D] makes your dreams [G] come true.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] As long as there's a heartbeat in [A] this soul of mine _ _ _ [C]
you'll know there's [Dm] someone [D] so in [G] love with
you.
_ _ _ [D] Darling [G] when it's time [C] you can spread your wings [G] and I'll [C] set you free _ to [G] fly away _ and _ [D]
it's
_ _ okay because [G] darling time _ [Em] [C] changes _ everything [G] _
but it won't [F] change [C] me.
_ [G] I love you oh _ [D] I love you.
_ _ _ _ Thank you.
